Traces : Video

This is a brief recording of the Traces project in action taken by my CalArts mentor Michael Scroggins. Here you can see a participant wearing the headset and drawing shapes as they move around the space.

The headset is connected to the first computer shown inside the road case. The “double vision” effect is due to the eMagin Z800 using alternating frames to pass the stereoscopic images to its display, and I had Unity swapping between the left and right eyes every frame to sync with this.

Any input from the user is also sent via network over to a second computer, seen on the large TV screen. This was another Unity client with a fixed overhead camera view so that any audience members could see what was going on in the participants environment.

Poster from “Traces”

Here is the poster I had printed for my final undergrad show, Traces. This was designed between myself and a graphic design friend, and then she went and screen printed about 30 of them.

This is a photo of one of the nicer runs, hanging in one of the computer labs at CalArts

Traces : Images

Here is a collection of images from my BFA final project. The project was called Traces, it was a virtual reality installation where visitors could don a stereo head mount display and tracked pen, and could then draw 3D forms in the virtual space that danced around the user. I am locating video of the virtual scene itself, but for now I have these images.
